Do u believe that Donald Trump's presidency is a failure ?
Here we are mid year through the 2nd term of Mr Trumps presidency. The MAGA crowd is freaking out now. They are complaining about high taxes, food prices, gas prices, rent, jobs, and social security. How ironic. Now I admit, it is still too early to tell how these uh tariffs will help stimulate this US economy. Perhaps things will be much better a year from now. We shall see hopefully. But as of right now, where are we SW. You tell me from your perspective how are things looking up right now.

@Zonuss @BrandNewMan Oddly, I’m trying to skip being overly specific so as to not instigate the Trump fans.
Biden was a sad case. He was as close to a puppet as could be imagined. I’m not a fan of the Kamala coup attempt either.
If I was to point to just a couple examples, ICE and the lack of due process, I find criminal. There’s also the abuse of executive order(s).
I also, again personally, think he’s a megalomaniac and is declining rapidly into his own state of dementia.
Further, I have significant issue with the party attempting to bring religious values into law. I’m anti religion, so the separation of Church and State is important to me. The last thing I want is a MAGA messiah.
I could go on more specifically, but I’d rather not spend my day in this thread.
@Adogslife Dont get me wrong, I have my hesitations about Trump as a person .. but honestly .. when millions were allowed into the country outside our established legal process, with the clear intent to funnel them to locations where inclusion in census counts would increase blue state congressional seats to sway future elections .. less than full "due process" for people here illegally is perfectly fine w me to reverse that issue.
Our country was in part founded on religious freedom of choice .. what religious values contradict basic decency /moral values for you? You put the stuff out there .. so stop with the "don't want to get into it bit" .. you clearly do
@BrandNewMan I think people accept some religions more than others. I think they all suppress women’s rights. I, again personally, believe in a woman’s right to choice. The more religion weaves its way into law/government, the more equality women lose.
Would you accept religion in government if the “ruling” majority was Islam or the institution of Sharia Law? We not only have the right “of” religion, but we have the “from” as well. There’s a reason.
To your point about “open” borders, it’s hard not to agree in most instances. I’d probably relax the intent of immigration for industries like agriculture where migrant workers are critical.
But, the fact that one side swung WAY too far left doesn’t mean that a reactionary swing to the far right is ever the appropriate corrective measure.
